Zero Clients, 12-Hour Days & The Weird Things Clients Tell Us
This month, Jack and Lewis dive into the full story behind JCF — from Jack working 10–12 hour days concreting while building his PT business, to Lewis offering FREE PT sessions and having literally nobody show up 😂
We talk about the early clients that shaped JCF, the mistakes we made as new coaches, how Tom accidentally helped change the direction of the business, and how JCF grew into the coaching team and facility we have today.
Then things get a little off track…
We get into confidence vs overconfidence, whether cockiness is actually insecurity, some VERY personal things clients tell their coaches, and why getting seriously lean can absolutely destroy your sex drive.
Another very normal episode of the JCF Podcast 😂
